Article Synopsis
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and deadly brain illness that damages nerve cells and leads to serious brain problems.
- Microglia, which are brain cells, are important because they help protect the brain and respond to diseases, like CJD, by cleaning up harmful stuff and sending signals to other immune cells.
- Scientists are studying how to change the behavior of microglia to help them become helpful instead of harmful in fighting CJD, and they are looking for new ways to treat the disease by focusing on these special brain cells.
